United
Nations Day is October 24. There is no more enduring symbol of a nation that
the national flag. It’s a thumbnail, an icon for a country. The flag symbolizes
pride and rallies people. The flag is flown or lowered to reflect national joy
or sorrow. Here are free printable world flags from around the globe. Use these
free printable flag coloring pages in geography lessons and social studies
cultures units. One note: Students should not be allowed to "free color" the
world flags. They should be taught to color flags correctly according to country.
